Recycle Sort Activity
In this game, kids need to put each piece of recycling into the correct box. You can draw lines to match each item to the right place, or cut out the items and place each one into the correct box.
To play this as a game, cut out all of the pieces and place them face down. Each child can take turns to pick up a piece of rubbish and see if they can place it into the correct recycling bin.
The three categories of recycling bin included are
- Glass
- Paper
- Plastic
And there are items to clear up including newspapers, glass and plastic bottles, plastic forks and more.

Making a change to help our planet is down to all us. When we all do our part, we can make a difference.
Start with the little things: For example, you could start by talking about the recycling bin in your home or classroom. Help your children learn about what happens to the items they bring into your home, and give them a few ideas of how to recycle things that they bring in, such as wrapping paper.
Consider our food: You can also talk to your child about the amount of food that they eat and where it comes from. Show your children where food comes from and where it goes.
Be a good role model: Showing kids how you live can be more effective than telling them, and they can learn from your example.
Do your homework: Make sure you’re using the right products that are safe and will not harm your family and the environment. If you’re working on a school project, encourage your students to use environmentally-friendly products. For example, ask your students to research the resources that went into making the materials they used
